Leaders of the Congress party will submit memoranda to the district Collectors on September 21 (Thursday) demanding cancellation of the second phase of counselling by YSR University of Health Sciences for allotment of MBBS seats.
At a press conference, APCC president Gidugu Rudra Raju alleged irregularities in the counselling for MBBS seats, and accused the YSRCP government of resorting to a ‘business’ with the medical seats in the new medical colleges and cited G.O.s 107, 108 pertaining to them. “The government is depriving the SC, ST, BC and Minority students of medical education,” he said.
The PCC president alleged that meritorious students were being allocated ‘reserved’ seats meant for those from the marginalised communities. He said the party would write an open letter to the Chief Minister on the issue and on September 22, they would make a representation to the university Vice-Chancellor and Registrar.
